I'm going for front row first ride.  Or at least, going to try to.

I have a feeling you aren't really going to have a choice in where you sit unfortunately due to having rows blocked off for social distancing.

Has anyone at Worlds of Fun reported on how the row selection process is going there? I assume they will assign everyone equally, but it would be great to hear from someone who has went to WoF.

Some cool pictures from Kyle kruthoffer

Well, lets say I had the choice to sit in literally any seat on the train, what would you pick?

When I first ride a coaster, I generally sit toward the front or middle.  Least scary seats.  But once I am comfortable, I get more brave.  I think that the back row right side is going to be gold.

New KIBlog post from Kyle Kruthoffer about Orion:

That article recommending getting a sunset ride this summer on Orion. Pretty sure that's not going to happen for anyone.

Those who attend the first rider auction and/or the 4th of July will have the opportunity. However, it depends on waits and stuff.

So exited.  I want to ride soon.

Not buying it. Looks like it’s doing the same thing with sun that it was for me when I tried say they were testing them during the day.

They are testing the lights on it alright, I’m buying it (the sun’s quite clearly not out in that photo so don’t say that it is)

That light is vibrant and consistent, as LED lights usually are. Plus we have already confirmed the existence of an LED light strip on the lift hill. Also, just like everyone else said, there is no sunlight in this photo.

It’s the light strip. Matches exactly what I was told it would look like.

Ok, If I’m wrong I’m wrong then.

At this point, the people who know are less than would probably fit into the Kings Island Theatre.  The awesome gifts you have given us from the parking lot over the winter (note, drones were not amongst them, before anybody gets worked up!) more than make up for a wrong conjecture on your part.  You provide a valuable service for those of us from afar.  Thank you!

Are those, RESTROOMS?!

Looks like just a family one. 

Where there is a family restroom there are usually men's/women's restrooms.

Wonder if that Chaos Labs Building general health associations..... could be the location for that family restroom sign (and hopefully others) though if I had to guess, the Chaos Labs building is the maintenance sheds after a makeover.

Dodgem building pics look sweet.  Nice to see that building get some love.

I guess the cat is officially out of the bag so I can now freely comment...

There are two - they are located on the Meteor Canteen building.

I said I would eat my words if there were restrooms after all, and in this case I couldn’t be more pleased to do so!

The chaos building could be where the maze is during huant
